This may be just a folk lyric, but is it more? Christians cling to the Bible, it is a thing of wonder. The only book on earth that you can read for 2000 consecutive days, and yet find new meaning each time. This is a magnificent thing, but can it be a bit of a cover up, a way for a christian to be lazy?
I see tons of people saying "I'll pray for you" or "I'll be thinking of you". The sentiments are rarely taken negativity and usually can help sooth a bad situation, but could a person do more? A million good vibes toward a person is a great thing, but it is not as effective as one person taking action.
What am I saying? Stop praying? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Stop expressing feelings of empathy or sympathy toward a person? of course not. Its a simple reminder that actions speak much louder than words..
